Question

Chlorobenzene is less reactive then chloroform towards nucleophilic substitution reaction, why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes. Chlorobenzene is extremely less reactive towards a nucleophilic substitution reaction. ... This results in delocalization of the electrons of C- Cl bond and a partial double bond character develop in the bond, which makes it difficult for the nucleophile to cleave the C- Cl bond
